Subject: [Gimp-user] Gimp download - Problem - Q

Hi Gimp users,

gimp-user-list@gnome.org

Quick Q based on a problem, which I hope will have a simple solution.

I downloaded Gimp today onto my laptop (Windows 10) and although the

process was reported as successful, no icon appeared on my desktop. I then

repeated the exercise, again successfully, with the same result.

So, I then re-started by lap top. Still no icon.

As things stand, I have Gimp loaded up but with no point of accessing it.

Anyone else come across this? If so, what was the solution?

Tx.

Rory

What you download is an installer, so you have to execute it (find it in your download folder and double-click it) to install Gimp. Then you will have an icon in your desktop (or in the estart menu).

If you are using Window's 10 antivirus system and controlled folder access is turned on, any attempts to write to the desktop will be blocked unless an exception is created through the operating system.

According to Microsoft's guidelines, Desktop is user's area, so installers should not touch it without users' explicit permission. If you want an icon on the desktop, you have to click Customize in the installer, and enable the option, otherwise the icon is only created in the Start Menu.
